This website covers all aspects of the rich history of rowing, as a sport, culture phenomena, a life style, and a necessary element to keep your wit and stay sane.

The Gentlemen & Ladies Of The Press

The daily readers of HTBS have now for a few days enjoyed Martin’s and Tim’s tales of their adventures closely following the crews from Cambridge and Oxford on the Thames. I am both happy and proud that they are writing and taking photographs for HTBS. Unfortunately, I cannot always manage to get all their nice photographs up on this blog. Above you will see one picture showing the hard life of the gentlemen and ladies of the Press at the Hammersmith Bridge (please remember it is not always this sunny and nice when you are out on the launch).

To be able to broadcast The Boat Race to the million of TV viewers around the world, you need high tech equipment in each boat. Here is a photograph that Tim took of the cox-seat. The camera is on the left behind the coxswain.
